He is as overvalued as his companies. The stock markets speculation and juicing of stock prices on hype is so obscene. Space X lost billions last year. Its road map to profitability is dependent on tech that doesn’t exist yet and government contracts from an over leveraged government and a right wing party rapidly losing favor. Tesla is wildly overvalued as well. He is a hype machine with little substance and his wealth is very tied to that hype. Fuck Elon.
It's funny that we're at the point where we have billionaires who aren't even on the same order of magnitude as those approaching the trillionaore threshold.
Imagine having 5 billion dollars to your name and some dude out there has 100 times that amount at 500 billion dollars.
One million seconds is 11.5 days. One billion seconds is 31.7 years. A trillion seconds is 31,688 years.
Or with monetary comparisons, there's only a handfuld of countries on this planet with higher GPD than his net worth. Or, if that was somehow some kind of value instead of made-up numbers, Elon alone would contribute to the world about as much as half of Canada or everyone in Taiwan.
Obviously that doesn't quite work like that, but maybe one person should not have more financial leverage than majority of whole countries on the planet.
Very little of it is liquid though , and he only got this far because of US contracts. Billionaires shouldn’t exist period. Also if it’s not liquid and it’s only finance because of stocks who cares. Start closing the fucking tax loop holes don’t let these fuck tards get away with taking out loans over their stocks and never get taxed.
lol ouch yes it was a typo. Won’t make that mistake again.
Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.
Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but trillionaires should be forced to transition into billionaires, and billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.
